Pg 27-28: Transit and Micromobility

Comment:
Agencies usually require micromobility operators in their jurisdiction to report data on matters relating to periodic ridership summaries, real-time records, GPS traces of individual vehicles, and user surveys. There are two major data standards for the collection, management, and distribution of micromobility data. These are the General Bikeshare Feed Specification (GBFS) and the Mobility Data Specification (MDS). The GBFS is an open-data standard for bikeshare while MDS is a more complex two-way standard.

Abstract:

Micromobility refers to small, low-speed vehicles intended for personal use and includes station-based bikeshare systems, dockless bikeshare systems, electric-assist bikeshare, and electric scooters. Micromobility has the potential to increase the number of transit trips by expanding the reach of multimodal transportation, but it also could replace transit trips.
The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Research Report 230: Transit and Micromobility provides an analysis of the full benefits and impacts of micromobility on public transportation systems in transit-rich markets as well as in medium-sized and smaller urban areas.
